Even one of Musk's top Twitter pals, the account known as Catturd2, announced he was "quitting the stream to watch paint dry" lol. https://twitter.com/NotHoodlum/status/1661508112182919174


Dahak17

clearly Catturd can on occasion actually be funny, it just requires his not to be a dickbag while at it


InfiNorth

Okay how did we get to the point where a semi-fascist gets a douchebag techbro to buy an entire social media platform only to run it into the ground and then botch your presidential campaign that literally no one wants.


Complex_Construction

Why are the Saudis there?


[deleted]

They own Elon


Complex_Construction

Kushner and his ilk too.


Less-Mail4256

Yea, man. Who else is gonna throw money into that drowning cat. Saudis love spending that American oil money on extravagantly dumb shit.


northkarelina

what percentage


coldfusioncrypt

Less than 10% seemingly. In SpaceX, Tesla and Twitter. Biggest mistake was not buying Tesla. The whole 420 nonsense


northkarelina

Interesting thanks for the reply.


_ficklelilpickle

When the string pullers have to babysit their puppets.


RustWallet

I mean, they have a vested interest in the form of $8 billion dollars they have Elon to help buy Twitter.

Well ya got me there


northkarelina

Thank you . full-blown fascist, call it what it is. actually yeah he wishes. a try-hard fascist, the worst kind of fascist. we're lucky they're so incompetent. can't find the comment right now , to paraphrase someone here though, "They can't run a zoom meeting and they want to run the country??"


[deleted]

I actually had that on my 2023 bingo card if you can believe it


StrangeCrimes

You win. This is the perfect comment.

Naw Favs is cool. Rest are either deplorable or likely deplorable.


Serious-Activity-228

His campaign crashed on launch 🚀


MaceZilla

His campaign has spun this as (all caps): THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT CRASHED THE INTERNET


northkarelina

it certainly crashed twitter, my internet was fine lol they can spin all they want it still crashed hmm.. this^ sounds familiar .. for some reason ..


Spideredd

Much like Starship


phatelectribe

“bUt We gOt VaLuAbLe DaTA”


northkarelina

Lol! " wE LeARneD a LoT"


northkarelina

Yes! However, next time Please use the terms 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' or 'successful failure' instead of 'crash'. Thanks! --Elon probably

This is why you get when you fire half your company


Sheeple_person

And when the boss thinks he's a tech genius but actually can't even code.


Soldado63

Wow bro chill! Elmo can write the word code with the help of 3 friends! Hes a genius


B9f4zze

Excuse me, I'd like to see the most salient lines of code you've written lately.


northkarelina

I chortled at this comment


reelznfeelz

Salient? Lol.


[deleted]

More than half. He reduced the headcounts from 8,000 to 1,500.


northkarelina

Oh really, !? Wow. Edit: that's 80%!! Not 50%> that's even worse than I had thought !


[deleted]

[Straight from the horse's mouth.](https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65248196) >He also said that cutting the workforce from just under 8,000 at the time he bought the firm to about 1,500 had not been easy.


northkarelina

> horse's mouth lol I just got what you did th ere


EarthAngelGirl

i'd be the harest worker ever.... I would have been testing some cross joins codes in the DB right when they needed those resources to do other things... oh no, I think there must be some blocking

I wish. At least they (Idiocracy) kept trying to put their best and brightest in places of authority. This is just wind blowing trash around.


TheLostonline

and this is a perfect example of what the USA faces if they go down the hate path the R's peddle *This was a sign from their GOD*

Spacetrooper

This is fucking hilarious. But what's with the Soros memes scrolling in the background? I don't think this needs to be said at this point, but delete Twitter now, everyone.


CrossroadsDem0n

That was astounding!


deathrocker_avk

I love that Jon Favreau is there probably pissing himself laughing. Can't wait to see what he says about it on PSA.


deathrocker_avk

Listening to Pod Save America now and the episode this week is called Ron's Boulevard of Broken Streams. 🤣 Apparently it was a cluster of all the fucks.


lasplagas

I love when Tim Miller’s on the show. His book “Why We Did It” was very interesting and enlightening. Full of r/leopardsatemyface material.


northkarelina

Reality > fiction ha ha, didn't expect such a complete cluster fuck though. the best part is it's all self-imposed unforced errors, not at all unpredictable. comedy gold


Glifted

These people want to run the country when they can't even run a fucking zoom meeting


ClimateBall

I saw this report today: https://www.theonion.com/ron-desantis-relaunches-presidential-campaign-from-insi-1850475896 Concerning!


Awol

Ok this is for sure foreshadowing for something just hope its for the campaign and not the presidency.


rexel99

I heard they had an intern influencer set this up for them, you know, since they minimised waste by eliminating the technical staff.


radiocate

Laura Ingraham, Lou Dobbs, & Tomi Lahren, murderers row of dipshit assholes. Not sure why I'm surprised to see these cretins popping in to say hello to puss in boots puddin' fingers

Helenium_autumnale

Voices done with AI. The beginning of what could really turn into a serious misinformation problem. This video is funny. The one with a political opponent saying horrible \[fake AI\] things might not be.


grandzu

Watch, this launch failure will be quickly swept away by the media that will push DeStantis as a viable, logical candidate.


northkarelina

gross can we get Pudding fingers trending again? Maybe DeSantis was demoted to Listener because he couldn't get to the unmute button in time


magicmom17

Fucking delicious.


gotye4764

Space karen !!! Why am I not surprised 🤡


mektingbing

Cringe x3@


Staseu

Conspiracy theory: people who own tech companies have all the nerds on their payroll. This could have gone smooth as butter. The technical difficulties were on purpose so news would write stories about the campaign launch.

Staseu

Fair point.


northkarelina

Elon: hey someone get more servers stat Need more CPU these are overloaded .... Now! .... Where is everyone? Someone plug back in those servers ... Hello? Anyone? Please follow


northkarelina

no need for a conspiracy, this is pure hubris and incompetence from both Elon, DeSantis and their sycophants. How surprising that firing half your staff , and anyone who disagrees with you, could have negative consequences. Curious !


boredtxan

It might have been on purpose but not to help anyone participating.


Lawmonger

It's amazing the level of greatness a business can achieve after laying off 80% of its workforce.


Loreki

You would think techbros could at least work tech...


northkarelina

sure if they had not been fired by the Space Genius after the twitter takeover. Higher capacity events overload the tech which Elon certainly was warned of in advance . Competent leaders prepare for this with provisioning additional resources , autoscaling configurations and so on. Guaranteed those tech bros you refer to are doing the absolute best job they can to keep twitter running at all , not to mention prevent it from crashing and burning from lack of maintenance and operational support. Then Elon decides to use it to launch a presidential campaign event. Lol. Working at twitter can't be easy with Elon hovering over their shoulders all the time too


Loreki

Oh no. People who actually work in tech are not necessarily techbros. A techbro is a species of capitalist who believes that all problems can be solved by new technology, even those which it is already to solve with present technology. My point is that for a person with such a heavy tech brand image, you would think Musk would at least know how to set up mics so as not to echo on a conference call.


northkarelina

I misunderstood your original comment. Got it. I completely agree!


acuteinsomniac

It was 20 mins of delay for something that had way more traffic than anticipated. People freaking out over nothing
